Heart Safe Clubs

Shares

The FA is launching Phase 3 of its national initiative ‘Heart Safe Clubs’ to provide life-saving defibrillators to all grassroots football clubs in England from 1 July 2019.

The scheme was first launched in 2017 and Phases 1 & 2 have proved so successful that The FA is now launching Phase 3 with WEL Medical, its strategic supply partner. WEL Medical specialises in life-saving devices and is supplying The FA with the iPAD SP1 defibrillator, a nominated device of the British Heart Foundation.

Clubs can now purchase life-saving iPAD SP1 defibrillators for the special price of £695+VAT (usual cost £1325+VAT).

The IPAD SP1 is a nominated unit of the British Heart Foundation and is deployed by the NHS Ambulance service. The iPAD SP1 defibrillator is portable; it weighs just 2.4kg (including the battery pack and pads) and comes in a robust, high visibility carry case.

Phase 3 launches on 1 July 2019 and all grassroots clubs in England can apply for a defibrillator via the dedicated website: www.footballdefibs.org

WEL Medical will require the club name, affiliation number, name of County FA, and the name/position of the person ordering the AED.
